    Your Botswana Career Transformation

    From Guesswork to Customer-Driven Design

    Your Design-Quality Upgrade

    Botswana's manufacturing and beneficiation base is growing, and employers increasingly separate people who can design quality in from those who cannot. Here is which side of that line QFD skills put you on.

    The QFD Skills You Will Build

    Practical, Hands-On and Applicable

    This one-day programme builds the practical skills to run Quality Function Deployment end to end. By the close, you can capture customer requirements, build the House of Quality, and cascade them through to production.

    Capturing the Voice of the Customer

    In Quality Function Deployment you learn to gather and structure customer requirements using interviews, observation, surveys and complaints, then organise them with an affinity diagram and classify them with the Kano model into must-be, performance and delighter needs.

    Building the House of Quality

    Construct the House of Quality step by step: customer requirements, measurable engineering characteristics, the relationship matrix, competitive benchmarking and engineering targets, so customer priorities drive every design decision.

    Prioritising Engineering Characteristics

    Calculate absolute and relative technical importance from the relationship matrix to find the vital few characteristics that drive customer satisfaction, and set defensible engineering targets.

    Resolving Design Trade-Offs

    Use the correlation roof to spot where improving one characteristic harms another, locate design hot spots early, and resolve conflicts before they reach expensive prototyping.

    Cascading QFD Across Four Phases

    Cascade requirements from product planning through parts deployment, process planning and production planning, keeping a traceable link from every customer need to a production control.

    Applying QFD in Six Sigma and Services

    Apply QFD within Design for Six Sigma (DMADV Measure) and DMAIC (Define), and extend it to service, healthcare and software design where customer requirements must become delivery standards.
